Winemaker Notes
The Armand de Brignac Blanc de Blancs (Ace of Spades) delivers a refined and elegant expression of 100% Chardonnay, opening with delicate aromas of green apple, citrus zest, and freshly cut lilies, accented by subtle notes of coconut and brioche. On the palate, it is crisp and mineral-driven, with bright acidity framing flavors of pear, lemon, and chalky undertones that highlight its Côte des Blancs origins. The texture is supple yet vibrant, offering both freshness and depth, while the finish lingers with finesse, marked by a clean minerality and a touch of creamy richness that underscores its prestige cuvée character.
About Winery
Armand de Brignac, also known as “Ace of Spades,” is a French luxury champagne brand originally registered by Champagne Cattier in the 1950s, but it remained obscure until its relaunch in 2006 as a prestige cuvée. Produced in Chigny-les-Roses by the Cattier family, who have cultivated vineyards since 1763, the brand gained global fame when rapper Jay-Z embraced it following a dispute with Cristal Champagne and later acquired it outright in 2014. In 2021, Jay-Z sold a 50% stake to LVMH, cementing Armand de Brignac’s position as a symbol of exclusivity and modern luxury, with its iconic metallic bottles and multi-vintage blends.
